About Me

I love unusual and beautiful things. I have extremely eclectic tastes from industrial furniture and country furniture to primitive artifacts, outsider/folk art, studio pottery and ethnic textiles. I'm drawn towards things finely crafted and handmade with love - things organic or with interesting texture or patina. To me these things reflect the spirit of the person who created it or the era when it was made or the mystery of the life it has had.

Larger items are local pick-up only in Cambridge, MA. Payments are accepted by check or Paypal. If you're interested in an item, email me. I can answer any questions or send additional photos. Smaller items can be shipped using standard USPS priority shipping rates.
